Twisted Ties of Love

Casey's hands were large and warm, bringing a comforting warmth to Izabella's cold hands.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Casey was a star in the entertainment industry, not just for his good looks, but also for his voice and personality.

It's said that while good looks can be replicated, but a unique personality can't And Casey had both.

He was a bit quirky, known for doing silly things, being clueless about emotions, and for being a bit too self-absorbed. His face was an open book, all his emotions on display. And despite his narcissism, he would blush whenever he was around someone he liked.

He was gentle with Izabella, eager to get close but afraid to scare her.

Whenever Izabella faced difficulties, he would stand firmly by her side, even if she didn't notice him.

Casey's feelings for Izabella were obvious, but he was careful when he was around her.

As Izabella watched him, his voice gently reached her ears, soothing her inner turmoil like a gentle breeze.

"Don't bear all the burdens alone. I can handle what you hate and despise. Don't hurt yourself for those jerks. It's not worth it," Casey said.

But Izabella was reminded of similar words spoken by someone else.

"Bella, anything you're scared of, I can help you eliminate them, people included."

Looking at Casey's familiar face, Izabella croaked out, "Ryker Dempsey."

"Hm?" Casey thought she was calling his name.

Snapping back to reality, Izabella asked, "Am I just supposed to do nothing and watch them live happily?"

"They won't," Casey firmly held her hand.

Izabella shook her head, "Thanks for your help, but there are things I must do myself." Otherwise, what was the point of her reincarnation? She didn't want to rely on others. Casey worried she might do something foolish.

Killing might provide instant gratification, but it would also bring about legal consequences. Casey was right, it wasn't worth hurting herself over those jerks. So, she decided to have someone else do the killing for her.

Ariana had once said in a video, "Anyway, it's not illegal to abuse a cat."

So, if she was hunted down and killed by netizens, what did that have to do with Izabella?

Casey's tweet, once again, put Ariana in the spotlight.

Ariana had been in the spotlight twice before, once because she was blacklisted, and this time she would be completely erased.

Izabella kept her plans to herself, and Casey, understanding her need for silence, just quietly stayed by her side.

"What are you going to do about Rachel?" Rachel's betrayal took everyone by surprise.

Human selfishness was a sad reality. Izabella trusted Rachel because of her past memories of Bell. When Bell was betrayed and publicly humiliated, Rachel was the only one who showed kindness. When Rachel took care of Niki, Niki's condition improved significantly. She even began to gain weight again, which was why Izabella trusted Rachel with Niki.

She had trusted her completely, but Niki died because of Rachel.

Izabella wasn't a saint. She couldn't easily forgive and forget. Her pain was too deep to be soothed by sweet words.

"Can you bring her directly to me?"

"I'll arrange it now." Casey acted quickly and immediately began to arrange for someone to find Rachel.

Meanwhile, Izabella found Ariana's home address and even got a hold of her daily routine.

After leaving the dump, Ariana began to feel uneasy. Worried that her actions would be discovered, she called Kristin to confirm whether her actions would be exposed or not.

Kristin laughed coldly, thinking Ariana was foolish and slow. She had already done the deed and now she was worried about being exposed? Wasn't it a bit too late?

Even though she thought this, she reassured Ariana, "Don't worry, there are no cameras at the dump, and you were wearing a mask. Rachel can't recognize you. Even if we're forced to confess, she wouldn't dare to tell the truth, because her mother is still my pawn. Besides, even if Rachel reveals the truth, I be the first one implicated."

Ariana thought about it and felt relieved.

"But what if I'm found out?"

"Ariana, why are you so scared? Didn't you want revenge on Izabella? Since you've already done this, what are you afraid of? So what if you

пе

abused a cat? You haven't broken any laws Even if netizens find out, so what? You've already left the entertainment industry and your image is beyond repair. Anyway, things are already at their worst. Think about the bright side, Izabella must be in great pain now. She

hasn't returned to the set yet, and

there are pictures of her holding a cat online. People online are accusing her of abusing cats."

Ariana, who hadn't checked her phone all day was excited by the news. As she opened Twitter, her phone suddenly froze. Just when she thought there was a problem with her phone, it came back to life, and all the messages were marked inred.

She looked at the trending search bar
